I am finally getting around to sharing and sorry for the long post: For those who are looking for a great hotel to stay, we stayed at the HOJO Anaheim for our first time over New Year's. I had researched for about 2 months trying to decid More...

Advice- I know that on super busy days Dland (like New Year's Eve) may stop selling tickets at the booths for crowd control. What about if you have ticket vouchers? Any thoughts/experience with this? Thanks!

Just make sure you get to the parks before they stop letting people in the parks. - PrincessDaisy 307.7 #794 12-23-13 8:13AMLikeReply

Thank you! I figured that this is all that we needed to do. :) - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 12-23-13 8:18AM

Make sure your voucher doesn't have a blackout date on there. Many of them have restrictions. I've seen people get turned away after spending all that time getting to the parks. - DLKenCA 2028.5 #62 12-23-13 9:22AMLikeReply

they may issue a refund or you can upgrade to an ap (may be possible) or reissued for a later date. no admission is guaranteed even premium ap can be denied park admission if a park is to capacity,but usaully dca is always avaiable it has never reached capacity only dl side.arrive early as possible and get a handstamp -if the park closes for capacity the ones with handstamp are formed on a sepearate line as they will get in first only if they reopen the park - pikarich 3630.6 #28 12-23-13 9:56AMLikeReply

I also believe if you are already in the park and decided to leave to go to either DCA or DTD then come back they may not even let you back in when at capacity. I've heard that if you have a handstamp, they maybe will let you back in, but I'm not sure. Been a while since I was a local! - disneymommy0910 234.4 #1451 12-23-13 9:59AMLikeReply

Has anyone seen Disneyland park hopper tickets at Costco yet this year? In the past they have been out by now but haven't heard anything. We live in WA state.

I've been waitng for the oregon costco's to do something like they did last year but so far it's a no go. Last year they included a $50 gift card with a purchase which was pretty cool. - madsdad 1846.8 #75 11-18-13 9:35AMLike(1)Reply

We had these last year locally too. They sold out in about 1 month. I was hoping for this deal to come back since we are headed that way soon! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 11-19-13 6:31AM

My mom who is a front end manager in Monterey CA said she was just informed that they would not be selling them. Not sure if that's just for CA or all Costco in the western region. 😢. Bummed because that's how I normally convince friends to go - DisneyPrincessT 82.4 #3706 11-18-13 9:34AMLikeReply

Feeling a little nervous about our LAX to HOJO transfer due to reviews I have now found..didn't find before although I looked :(. I booked a private van through Prime Time Shuttles for our family. Thoughts???

Hi @ChurroChomper! Each one of those vans are independent, so service varies greatly. A taxi can cost you around $85-100 each way, so depending on the size of your party, that might be a better option. - djbreakdown 573.2 #316 10-23-13 7:03PMLikeReply

Thank you! It is our family of 5 and will look into it. I appreciate your thoughts. I know I ask for a lot of advice on here but we only get to go once every 1-2 years. Wanting to make to special! Thanks again! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 10-24-13 6:11AM

It looks like we can possibly suprise our kids with a Dland trip about Dec 14-18. Nervous about the crowds/weather but origionally thought only later in Christmas break would be a possibility due to my teaching schedule. Advice on where t More...

Maybe someone can mail you a map after the cover changes to holiday. - Dizkid 359.8 #586 9-28-13 9:20PMLike(1)Reply

I would LOVE that if possible! Any takers lol - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 9-28-13 9:53PM

I am super excited!!! We have only been during summer and spring break. Hopefully the crowds during this time frame are ok. I can't wait to see the decorations! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 9-28-13 3:40PMLikeReply

We only get to go to Disneyland once a year, if we are lucky. I am a teacher so unfortunately only the busiest times of the year are an option for us. In your opinion, which would be better to visit the parks this year: January 1-4 (Chris More...

Thank you for being a teacher. I appreciate the educators and staff who go the extra mile for my children! - BombFrogFormerCM 818.4 #197 7-3-13 7:17PM

After Jan 2 the park isn't too bad, so i would say christmas break. As a parent thanks for all you do for kids! - dizneeJohn 705.5 #236 7-3-13 5:52PMLike(2)Reply

Thank you so much! It means a lot to all of us teachers when parents show their support. Also, I thank all parents for all they do for our kiddos as a parent is a child's first and most important teacher! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 7-3-13 7:05PM

My fiancée and I are both teachers and have visited several times on weekdays during spring break....the crowds always seems to be manageable. I will tell you that each time I have run into at least one student of mine....it never fails! :-) - Ms.Disney 121.4 #3064 7-3-13 7:53PMLikeReply

We went our first year a few years ago when our spring break was a week earlier. We saw a TON of families from our small town! It is fun to see so many familiar faces so far from home. - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 7-3-13 8:01PM

What is the typical weather like in early December at Dland? Trying to plan our next trip. I have searched FAQs and would love your help!

As far as my body is concerned it's cold. But then again I've lived in So Cal my whole life and anything under 60 is cold. - aidensmama 340.1 #641 3-6-13 5:37PMLike(1)Reply

Thanks for your input everyone! Winter where we live is hard to predict too although you can usually count on many days below freezing, chilly wind and snow. :-) Rainy or not it would definitely be happier at Dland! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 3-6-13 5:55PMLike(1)Reply

Weather here is a little hard to predict. We have some winters that are wetter than others and then some winters where you can go swimming on Christmas Day! - Prettynpink1023 276.6 #994 3-6-13 6:20PM

Does anyone know when Small World will close down to remove the holiday overlay this January? I know that the majority of other stuff is closed starting Jan. 7 but can't find anything on Small World. Thanks!

It should close on the 7th (like Mansion does) and reopen a couple weeks later - BaseballMickey_CM 6790.6 #9 11-28-12 5:06PMLikeReply

Thank you so much PinkElephants for the RAK! My Lil Guy kept saying WOW is all this for ME??!!! Couldn't have come at a better time. Our area has been ravaged by a Wild Fire burning over 20,000 acres, 70+ homes, etc all within 2 days and More...

Oh YAY he got it!!! Sooo cute! I'm happy he likes it and that I was able to do something nice for you! That puts a smile on my face and I'm so sorry about the fires. So scary :(. I hope everything gets better! - PinkElephants 745.7 #224 8-16-12 12:43PMLike(3)Reply

Not live but from our trip in June. Just found this pic of one of my daughters, hubby, and son. It was my son's first trip on Splash Mountain. He loved it! Just this morning he told me Please don't make it a lot of days until we get to go More...

We started with a locker RAK, same idea, but too many people took without leaving. People even stole the guest book. So....beware. People steal stuff in Disneyland. Very sad. - GusGus 776.9 #211 8-4-12 8:33PMLikeReply

So sad! It is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth! - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 8-4-12 8:41PM

Yeah, we've seen a lot of lockers RAKs end on a bad note. So sad. - LBChica 2112.7 #59 8-4-12 8:50PM

Per geocaching.com's rules, you can't not put a cache in a place where people have to pay to get in ie. amusement parks, museums, zoo's, etc. - Ricko19 818.1 #198 8-4-12 8:44PMLikeReply

We are coming from Washington State. Not sure if we will fly or drive down and see the sites on our way (depends on the time of year and how much vaca time we have). - ChurroChomper 148.0 #2628 8-4-12 12:13PM

I work for a school too, we try and go either for spring break(because our Oregon spring break is different from CA) or during any time that we get clerical days that extend the weekend to 4 or 5 days :) - cdeley 471.0 #408 8-4-12 12:27PMLikeReply

Check your spring break to San Diego school districts. Last year there were a lot of people from Washington when we had ours. - MeridasHair 346.5 #622 8-4-12 1:04PM

I just go the DL after school ends. But not everyone teaches 11 miles from the parks and get off at 12:05 on Wednesday and Friday. - sr citizen space ranger 59.4 #4180 8-4-12 2:06PMLikeReply

Mid January is best time 2 go. No crowds . - mante90 7.4 #12037 8-4-12 6:38PM

How is the new RSR ride? We didn't waste away in the 3 hour+ line with our kiddos when we were there opening week. So sad to have missed it- it looks amazing!!!

It Should be a stop on your next trip. It totally worth it! I was there last night and had a fast pass for 6 ppl and asked a couple with a 3 year old if they wanted to join us because the wait Was to long for the 3 year old!
